Consumer Narrative
This complaint is against Continental Finance. I lost my XXXX Credit Card around the end of XXXX, XXXX. I called Continental Finance and reported my credit card missing. They instructed me to prove my identity because I moved to Colorado and they would only accept a fax to an office I do not know. I sent the fax to them with the requested documents. I never heard from them. I went to pay my bill online as I have done on time every time ( I have the records ) and the companies XXXX/Continental Finance closed the access to the credit card site and I could not get access to pay my bill. I finally received my new card about a month and a half later. I went on line and created a new account and I was able to pay my bill. I received two threatening letters. One in the beginning of XX/XX/XXXX and another on XX/XX/XXXX. They said I owed {$110.00} and there was a {$35.00} payment past due. This is impossible because I paid XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX of {$35.00} each. These companies are criminals. Now referred here to as CFXXXX. They adjusted my cycle without telling me and billed me a service fee the was not due and charged me over {$140.00} in fees reflected in the last statement I received in XX/XX/XXXX that was the first since I had the card because everything was managed online. The statement dated XX/XX/XXXX had the following that I never received before Fees and other charges 1. Monthly network fee $ {$10.00} ( Never was there before ) 2. Annual Fee {$99.00} ( CFXXXX only did this because it was a new card and they are criminals. ) This fee was not due until next year. 3. Late fee of {$40.00} for no reason. In the reverse side of the invoice. ( This is the only one I have received from CFXXXX since I opened the card last year. ) It says " every month I will be assed a monthly fee. '' No amount stated and to close the card if I did not want the fee. So, I called CFXXXX today XX/XX/XXXX and was on the phone for an hour. I asked the person to transfer me to a supervisor to straighten this out. I was transferred 30 minutes later to a rude person that REFUSED to help. The fees that were asses in total I did not owe and this person refused to close the credit card. They are now falsely reporting on my credit report and gouging me in fees that I did not owe and I was not late on any payments. /s/ XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX
